I thought I would be so ready to eat a lot today and that the struggle would be to focus on portions and restrain from overeating. It was more the opposite. I got to 9:00pm, felt like I'd eaten quite a bit today, with effort, and was still 620 calories under my goal. I guess it's a good problem to have.
It took me about an hour to drink 20 oz of water so I could eat breakfast and have coffee.
Breakfast: Quaker overnight oats-toasted coconut and almond crunch (prepared with almond milk). Oh my goodness, this is good stuff y'all.
No snacks…too busy making snacks for the kids. And not hungry.
Lunch: Leftover chicken spaghetti casserole. And more water. I'm really over the water thing. The chicken spaghetti, however, was incredible. The amazing parents at our school do a great job of blessing and honoring our teachers, and this was one example of many blessings.
I got a spa gift for Christmas from my mom-in-law, so I spent the afternoon getting a massage, reflexology and a facial. You know what they do when you go the spa…make you drink water. 😐 The reflexology (first time for me) and massage was so relaxing. Is it just me, though, or are facials painful? I feel like I'm being tortured. Anyway… no snacks this afternoon.
Dinner: I had put a roast in the crockpot this morning, with a packet of Italian seasoning and a jar of pepperoncinis over it. When I walked in the door, it smelled amazing. I had spinach, roast, avocado and a slice of cheese wrapped up on my Lavash Roll Up. We had steamed broccoli on the side.
It was a good day. I have decided to start back to the gym next week. One step at a time.
